      Een vrouw verdwijnt, haar auto wordt gevonden aan de rand van een afgrond. Iedereen beschouwde haar als de perfecte echtgenote en moeder: toegewijd, trouw en gelukkig. Maar in haar nalatenschap vindt men een dagboek, waarin ze openhartig vertelt over haar verontrustende seksuele ontdekkingstocht. Het geheime dagboek begint heel onschuldig tijdens haar huwelijksreis in Marokko. Maar dan doet de vrouw een schokkende ontdekking: haar zorgeloze leven blijkt een façade te zijn geweest, en langzaam maar zeker betreedt ze een wereld van verlangen, fantasie en roekeloosheid. Wat begint in haar verbeeldingskracht eindigt algauw in een neerwaartse spiraal van obsessie en bevrijding. Maar hoe lang kan zij dit dubbelleven volhouden?

      Naast hun Indo-Europese goden vereerden de Grieken ook lokale goden die ze in hun nieuwe omgeving aantroffen. Ze kenden geen openbaring of heilig boek en hadden geen profeten of georganiseerde priesters om de religieuze zuiverheid te waarborgen. Hun instinct voor orde leidde tot een hiërarchisch geordende wereld van Olympische goden, waarin de plaatselijke goden werden geïntegreerd. De dichters van de Homerische Hymnen droegen bij aan deze verdieping door mythen te creëren die primitieve riten en gebruiken verklaarden die niet meer begrepen werden. Hoewel deze hymnen zijn geschreven in een Homerische taal en stijl, zijn ze niet van Homerus, maar van latere datum. Het belang van deze verhalen met rijke inhoud is groot, en een integrale vertaling was al lange tijd gewenst. Deze eerste Nederlandse vertaling is van H. Verbruggen, een specialist in de Griekse godsdienst. Het boek biedt een zeer getrouwe weergave in ritmisch proza en bevat inleidingen op de verschillende hymnen met boeiende achtergrondinformatie over de Griekse godenwereld. De literaire mythologie verschilt opvallend van de officiële cultus en het volksgeloof.

      The Dhammapada (Pali; Prakrit: Dhamapada; Sanskrit Dharmapada) is a versified Buddhist scripture traditionally ascribed to the Buddha himself. It is one of the best-known texts from the Theravada canon. The title, Dhammapada, is a compound term composed of dhamma and pada, each word having a number of denotations and connotations. Generally, dhamma can refer to the Buddha's "doctrine" or an "eternal truth" or "righteousness" or all "phenomena"; and, at its root, pada means "foot" and thus by extension, especially in this context, means either "path" or "verse" (cf. "foot (prosody)") or both. English translations of this text's title have used various combinations of these and related words.

      Compiled by an unknown author in Iceland around 1270, and based on sources dating back centuries earlier, the single main manuscript of The Elder Edda is one of the literary wonders of the medieval world and the greatest source of knowledge of Viking lore in existence. These mythological and heroic poems tell of gods and mortals from an ancient era: the giant-slaying Thor, the doomed Volsung family, the hell-ride of Brynhild and the cruelty of Alti the Hun. Eclectic, incomplete and fragmented, these verses nevertheless retain their stark beauty and their power to enthrall, opening a window on to the thoughts, beliefs and hopes of the Vikings and their world. Andy Orchard's new translation faithfully conveys the spare, unadorned style of the original metre and language. The glossed text us accompanied by four additional poems, a chronology, further reading, an index of names, a note on pronunciation, and an introduction discussing the poems in detail, the history of The Elder Edda and its influence on writers from Tennyson to Tolkien."

      In the most unlikely setting, during devastating winters and unimaginably harsh conditions, some of Europe's most celebrated literature was born. In 13th century Iceland, stories about the heroic Vikings that first settled the country were recorded. These stories, called Sagas (meaning 'story' in Icelandic), have always caused pride with the Icelandic nation and will forever be it's number one cultural heritage. The undisputed masterpiece among the Sagas is Njal's Saga, a spine-chilling story of love, honour, revenge, and patriotism, vividly describing the lives of a host of memorable characters, ranging from respected arbitrators and lawyers to deadly warriors and fighters. If you buy one item in Iceland this should be it. The Sagas inspired the works of J.R.R. Tolkein. The Sagas were written on vellum; a parchment made from calfskin. The material is extremely long-lasting and most of the original books are still in good condition. The oldest fully preserved version of Njal's Saga is from the early 14th century and is stored at the campus of The University of Iceland.

    • Geisha Secrets

      A Pillow Book for Lovers

      • 48bladzijden
      • 2 uur lezen

      The world of Japanese geisha culture has long commanded worldwide interest and fascination. A document of this culture, as well as an exercise in erotic tradition, the "pillow book," was first used during Japan's Kamakura period (1192–1333). It then developed into a wider range of boudoir literature. Others became illustrated portfolios, or shunga, traditional Japanese erotic art that recalls great eighteenth-century masters such as Hokusai and Utamaro, as well as today's popular Manga comics. These pillow books were used by courtesans and geishas to aid sexual exploration, and throughout history also became a cultural guide to the world of the geisha, describing training, dress, makeup, and style, both public and private. This book brings the world of the geisha to us in glorious vibrancy through its topics of the history of the geisha tradition, the rigors of the geisha apprenticeship, the significance of the kimono, and the meticulous care of the daily routine and cosmetics; the perfection of skills of ceremony, dance, and music, and the significance of misuage—loss of virginity—and the role of the danna, or patron. Filled with the facts of formal tradition and ritual along with erotic symbolism makes Geisha Secrets a must for aficionados of classic erotica and for anyone else who wishes to preserve the rapidly vanishing world of the geisha.

      Teleny, or, The Reverse of the Medal, is a pornographic novel, first published in London in 1893. The authorship of the work is unknown. There is a general consensus that it was an ensemble effort, but it has often been attributed to Oscar Wilde. Set in fin-de-siècle Paris, its concerns are the magnetic attraction and passionate though ultimately tragic affair between a young Frenchman named Camille de Grieux and the Hungarian pianist René Teleny. Its lush and literate, though variable prose style and the relative complexity and depth of character and plot development share as much with the Aesthetic fiction of the period as with its typical pornography.

      Students of Spanish literature have long been familiar with this eight-hundred-year-old epic which details the legendary exploits of the soldier-adventurer Ruy Díaz of Bivar, the Cid, "he who in happy hour was born." They have known of the Cid's part in the long contest between Christian and Moslem; of his peerless steed Babieca and of his two famous swords, Colada "the precious" and Tizón; of his wife Doña Elvira and Doña Sol, "white as the sun," who found santuary with Abbot Don Sancho in the monastery of San Pedro de Cardeña during the Cid's exile; and of the despicable Princes of Carrión, Diego and Fernando González, whose hearts were black with evil. Lesley Byrd Simpson here makes this masterpiece of Spanish literature accessible to English readers in a translation that preserves the verve, realism, and humor of the original. Mr. Simpson is the translator of Two Novels of Mexico by Mariano Azuela, Cortes: The Life of the Conqueror by Francisco López de Gómara, and The Celestina; he is the author of Many Mexicos and The Encomienda in New Spain.

      The Bible is the most important book in the history of Western civilization, and also the most difficult to interpret. It has been the vehicle of continual conflict, with every interpretation reflecting passionately-held views that have affected not merely religion, but politics, art, and even science. This unique edition offers an exciting new approach to the most influential of all English biblical texts--the Authorized King James Version, complete with the Apocrypha. Its wide-ranging Introduction and the substantial notes to each book of the Bible guide the reader through the labyrinth of literary, textual, and theological issues, using the most up-to-date scholarship to demonstrate how and why the Bible has affected the literature, art and general culture of the English-speaking world. The Bible: Authorized King James Version also includes the lastest biblical research, evaluated and put into context as well as discussing centuries of critical opinion. A non-sectarian, historical approach makes it suitable for a wide range of readers. A Glossary of terms used in the Notes and six maps of the Holy Land further illuminate the meaning of this most culturally influential version of the Bible.

      This 6th Edition and 5th revised version of the translation emphasizes the Qur’ān as a self-manifesting source of light and guidance. It asserts that God leads those seeking His pleasure from darkness into light, guiding them along a straight path (5:16). Like the Torah and the Gospel, the Qur’ān is portrayed as a divine source of enlightenment, underscoring the importance of understanding the ultimate Source of reality. Knowledge lacking this awareness is deemed ignorance, and efforts without this foundation are destined for futility. The Qur’ān claims to be the most reliable guide for human endeavors, teaching that the Source of being is also the chief Source of guidance.

      The Qur'an
    • A prince is born under a star of good fortune, and it is prophesied that he will become the greatest king of all time. Alexander grows up to fulfill this destiny, conquering all who stand in his way. But this is not enough for the young warrior. Alexander will not rest until he has defeated his mortal enemy, the King of Persia.

      In the latter days of Ketill, King Harald the Fairhaired rose to power, making it impossible for any folkland king or noble to thrive without his approval. When Ketill learned that Harald intended to treat him like other powerful men—demanding he accept unatoned kinsmen and become a hireling—he convened a meeting with his kinsmen. He began by acknowledging their past dealings with King Harald but emphasized the urgent need to address the impending troubles they faced. Ketill conveyed his certainty of Harald's enmity and concluded that they had two options: flee the land or face slaughter. He expressed his willingness to share the same fate as his kinsmen but hesitated to lead them into such peril, knowing their loyalty to him. Bjorn, Ketill's son, quickly declared his intention to follow the example of noble men and flee the land, believing it better to escape than to remain and be subjected to Harald's tyranny or face death at his hands.

      There have been many anthologies of limericks, but this huge collection of 1700 of them is a treasure trove indeed. It contains the richest and juiciest erotic stanzas the editor could cull from the vast body of limericks produced between 1870 and 1952.This collection was first published privately in Paris in 1957 in a limited edition. Very few copies found their way to this country.The limerick is, by definition, a five-line verse with a distinctive metrical structure. There have been clean limericks, of course, but the most popular form is a bawdy rhyme involving the sexes in ribald situations.Once banned from the nation's bookshelves, the limerick has taken advantage of the new moral climate to "come out." This book offers examples from all over the Western world - a limerick for every taste.Included are copious notes and an extensive bibliography.

What does he call us to do?He tells us that our answers to those questions are, literally, a matter of life and death. This NIV edition of The Gospel of Mark contains an introduction, conclusion and other aids to helping you understand the meaning and relevance of Jesus for you today.

      This is the top secret manual said to be found by accident in 1986 by an employee of Boeing Aircraft. He bought a surplus IBM copier for scrap parts at a government sale and found the manual inside. The manual outlines a plan to control the masses through manipulation of industry, education and politics, and to divert the public's attention from what is really going on. Surprisingly, it is claimed that much of what is outlined has come to pass, and makes interesting reading for those exploring the deeper levels of our social structure and how it may be controlled or influenced. This Book Tree edition includes all of the important charts and diagrams not seen in other versions. It is an exact replica of the original, aside from some minor alterations to correct print quality. Found in this edition only is a new, four-page Introduction. It explains why we may never be certain of the true origin of this document, despite the fact that someone has stepped forward and claimed that they assembled it from multiple sources.
